ByBobieHughes Januaryisalwaysa hard month to find things to brighten our lives. The excitement of Christmas, New Year's, the family get- togethers, colorful deco- rations and the kitchen smell's all warm and invit- ing are over. The decora- tions are being put away and the bills are arriving to bring us the reality of how much it costs for all the goodwill and cheer. At the Sacramento River Discovery Center it still rains and the bills keep rolling in, but we have found a way to bring some sunshine into the future of our lives and you can too. This is our time to dream about the warm days of spring and all the wild- flowers and plants that start blooming in two to four weeks and the seeds we put in the ground this month will bloom as early as March. It is time to start plan- ning your summer gar- den. One of the best ways I know is to start looking at seed catalogs. I could not believe how many compa- nies there are that produce seeds for all kinds of differ- ent plants. Did you know that right here in Tehama County we have a seed company? Redwood Seed is located in Manton. This is not a paid commercial, but more of a did you know. The Discovery Center grew a number of different seeds from Redwood's se- lections for our food grow- ing area. We were very pleased with the quality of the produce and the fact that we were buying lo- cal was a big plus. Galactic Garden Center on Antelope Boulevard is where I pur- chased the Discovery Cen- ter seeds. If you are looking for seeds for different types of plants, a Google search will provide all manner of col- ors, shapes and flavors of different things you can plant in the earth and har- vest in the spring to sum- mer and later. I love or- dering catalogs and go- ing through all the pages to see old and new types of plants. The Discovery Center tends to plant heirloom be- cause we can harvest the seeds from our own plants and plant them again the next year. If enough people do this we will be able to establish a Seed Exchange for Tehama County. If you are interested send me an e-mail. The Discovery Center will start really blooming after the first few days of sunshine appear. The first things to bloom are the bush lupine with their pur- ple flowered spears, and the orange, yellow and golden poppies and blue flax are usually first on the scene of the wildflowers. The Ceanothus (Wild Li- lac) are also early color- ful blooming shrubs, from purple to many different shades of blue. The Clarkia seeds we planted in Octo- ber should join the colorful array soon after. Early spring is a great time to visit the native Plant Garden at the Discov- ery Center. This year you will find name plaques next to many specimens to help you learn the plant names.

RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Brighteningupagloomyday CONTRIBUTEDPHOTO A late winter sunny day brings out the early spring flowers at the Sacramento River Discovery Center garden. Paul Davis, a full blood Indian, was horribly man- gled Thursday morning by being struck and run over by both sections of Train No. 16 from the south, near the Sacra- mento river bridge in the town of Tehama. Davis, before his ar- rival in Tehama, had been employed by Superinten- dent J. O. Eldred of the Bohemia hop yards near Los Molinos, and was just a few days before dis- missed from his services because of the fact that he indulged in the use of intoxicating liquors and while in this condition committed petty thieving from other employees on the hop farm. Davis was about Te- hama for a few days and through the usual means employed by Indians se- cured liquor and was muchly intoxicated most of the time. Some time be- fore he was killed by the train he was seen on the track near the bridge in a drunken condition. He was seen to stagger up the track toward the ice house and at the time was howling like a drunken Comanche. Noonesawtheaccident and his body was not dis- covered until about 6:15 o'clock when some of the men who are employed on the railroad construction crew under charge of Al- fred C. Perry were going to their breakfast. Pass- ing from their cars up the track they noticed some- thing on the side of the track which they thought was a sack of coal, but on striking a match they found it was the torso of a man. — Jan. 5, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
